LSBL 25/2008 - SK Cēsis 96, RTU-Merks 44

As expected, SK Cēsis won every single quarter. They led 47-22 at the half and 77-30 after three quarters. It couldn't have called for much effort on SK Cēsis.

SK Cēsis hit 56 percent of its attempted field goals, whereas RTU-Merks only hit 29 percent of its attempts. SK Cēsis out-rebounded their opponents, but RTU-Merks led 10-7 in offensive rebounds. Unfortunately, RTU-Merks also turned the ball over 25 times and went to the free throw line only six times, whereas SK Cēsis hit 16 out of 28 of their free throws - a 57 percent accuracy rate, but accuracy probably wasn't needed.
